Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

Event stratigraphy is used to help characterise the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphic
concept, based on analogous deep-time events, for which we provide a novel …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Toxic heavy metals emitted by industrial activities in the midlatitudes are transported through
the atmosphere and deposited in the polar regions; bioconcentration and biomagnification …

Aeolian dust has a great influence on mountain hydrology, climate, and biogeochemical
cycles. Dust deposited on glaciers and snowpack of the high alpine mountains in Tibetan …

During the past two centuries metal loads in the Earth's atmosphere and ecosystems have
increased significantly over pre-industrial levels. This has been associated with deleterious …

The phasing out of leaded gasoline in many countries around the world at the end of the last
millennium has resulted in a complex mixture of lead sources in the atmosphere. Recent …

Recent ice core measurements show lead concentrations increasing since 1970, suggesting
new nonautomobile-related sources of Pb are becoming important worldwide. Developing a …

Industrial activities release aerosols containing toxic metals into the atmosphere, where they
are transported far from their sources, impacting ecosystems and human health …

The vigorous convective circulation in the low-latitude regions plays an important role in the
global lead (Pb) cycle in the context of growing atmospheric Pb pollution. However, the …
